ScratchSim: A Procedural Synthetic Data Pipeline for Surface Scratch Detection
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read

- What happened
- ScratchSim is a procedural rendering pipeline that generates large-scale synthetic training data for surface scratch detection in industrial quality control.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building defect detection systems where annotated real scratch data is scarce or expensive to collect at scale.
- Watch out
- Approach tested only on glossy toy Ferrari; generalization to diverse materials, surface finishes, and real industrial environments remains unproven.
